Question

A study compared the drug use of 288 randomly selected high school seniors exposed to a drug education program (DARE) and 335 randomly selected high school seniors who were not exposed to such a program. Data for marijuana use are given in the accompanying table.

  sample size number who use marijuana
exposed to DARE 288 141
not exposed to DARE 335 181



At the 5% significance level, is there convincing evidence that the proportion using marijuana is lower for students exposed to the DARE program?

Round these answers to two places after the decimal:
Test-statistic =   (to two places after the decimal)

P-value =   (to four places after the decimal)
There     sufficient evidence to conclude that the proportion of students using marijuana is lower for students exposed to the DARE program.
